All three benchmarks are new Fighting Sioux records. In WCHA conference play, Lamoureux led all skaters in points (64), goals (27) and assists (37). Lamoureux was named to the 2012 All-WCHA First Team, while also being recognized as the WCHA Student-Athlete of the Year Award winner. In addition to being recognized as an American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) All-American First Team selection, she was also named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-America Team.
